Hello guys, Reigokai here!
Man, this has been one rough year… I want to update you guys with the state of things right now.
First, about the 2 months of pay. As expected, it was out of my hands. Even so, I consider showing the will to fight back an important thing to do. My life was taking a nosedive, but…thanks to the overwhelming support of you guys and my patreons, I can survive this month! I really don’t know how to express this gratitude. You guys are the best!
Second, regarding the “botting” issue with the website, I have to clear up something… You guys don’t have to apologize for refreshing my page. I find the whole fault to be with this web hosting. If you guys have been refreshing my page in the past, I invite you to continue doing as you have been doing until now. I really love a lively comment section and I don’t want that to die just because of a phantom fear. It is silly to suffer from what’s just a natural thing to have in a website. That’s like telling people on youtube to stop refreshing their site to check for video updates.
However, if there’s actual bots out there, please do stop. I did say it is okay to refresh, but if the refreshing is excessive, that could cause some issues.
Anyways, I just have to say that the customer service here was horrible. I don’t know how much I can disclose of this, but they presented me with an issue on my website, took away key features from me, and told me what was equivalent to ‘wait for the botting to decrease, and then we will tell you the next step of the process’. I questioned them several times that what I wanted the most is a HOW to solve this ‘botting’ issue, and what they tell me is ‘we have no way to stop it from our side’. So…they are basically telling me to ‘wait and pray’. How lovely.
I am actually a bit reluctant to even continue posting on this site now. They were so sudden with all of this, so silent until I actually pressed for the matter, and so apathetic about what’s most definitely a glaring hole in their system that I am appalled. I wouldn’t be surprised if they suddenly went nuclear on this site out of nowhere. It is that level of fear.
I really don’t know what to do. Should I switch to another web hosting service? If you guys have any recommendations for a new one, please tell me. I don’t mind if there’s a price tag for it.
If you guys have any suggestions to resolve this issue, I would love to hear them, as I can’t consider myself savvy in this area.
Anyways, I will be resuming chapter posting in 2 days! I am really reluctant to even post new chapters with the current state of things, so I want to have a few days of breathing room and see your responses. It will also help me calm down a bit and think for myself.
And…that’s all! I can’t really say things have completely wrapped up, but I would say it is on its way to a conclusion. The routes have branched, and I would like to know what you guys have to say on this.
Looking forward to your input! Also, stay safe and stay sanitized!
“It may not have been explained the best, but it is as I told you…
“Uguo… That felt terrible…” What I saw within my vision was an endless white space.…
It is not like I was certain, but I did think that we might end…
“Eh? It wasn’t that you came to visit me?” (Furiae) “Aah, yeah…you could say that.”…
There may have been cases when I would begrudge my own lack of strength, but…

No rush
My 2 lurker cents, just in case make a backup of everything, and make a new website or something like twitter, facebook so that if something happens you can tell us readers what's going on and then share with us the new website or something.
Though I use my novelupdates reading list to let me know when with when translator-sama updates links to new chapters there. So wherever they are posted as long as Rei posts new links there we can find the chapters.
If you have to abandon WP completely it could be a major chore to post new set of links to relocated old chapters. If you do relocate old posts I'd volunteer to help with updating novelupdates, lol 😉
Hate it when can't find translations want to reread or worse missed chance to read 😭
Thanks for your efforts with many great light novels 👍
Good luck, Rei.
Please do make backups for everything somewhere else though.
Keep doing you thing, man! You are awesome for blessing us with all these chapter and quality translations. And your consistency is nice! Maybe you shouls save your data or something just in case they decide to fuck you over and close this site.
PS: fuck your webproviders, they sound awefully unprofessional!
A shame you couldn't resolve your salary issue, it is unjust if your deserved work isn't been properly repayed. The other issues I have no diea, I would just love to get a heads up if you change. I am glad you are still helathy, I hope things get better.
Yes auh
It's okay man take your time ♥️
From my experience, DreamHost and SiteGround were pretty good for web hosting. You might also want to look into using VPNs ONTOP of your hosting such as Cloudflare (which is free and very good from my experience), which can help reduce the burden on your host quite a bit (and maybe stop them from hassling you about the people refreshing a lot on your website).
Sorry, I meant look into a CDN not a VPN. Cloudflare is a CDN. They're very handy for websites.
I hope you have already a Back-Up, just in case
Sounds good. Do whatever you need to get sorted.
I've heard of other sites, but I couldn't say which ones are good for it. Good luck!
Take the time you need, we can wait for quality content like your translations. :)
As for the website I have no clue but don't let it get the best of you.
Hoping the best for you. ^^
